Dr. Brown: "What for?"
Ephram: "We have a date. I told you about it yesterday."
Dr. Brown: "Oh, right. Is that what you're wearing?"
Ephram: "Yeah, why?"
Dr. Brown: "Never mind."
Ephram looked at Dr. Brown for a moment and then left.

Ephram stepped up to the door at the Abbott house and rang the doorbell. Amy answered the door.
Amy: "Hey."
Ephram: "Hey."
Amy: "Can you wait a minute?"
Ephram: "Yeah, sure."
Amy closed the door, grabbed a heavily packed backpack and opened the door again.
Ephram: "Where are we going?"
Amy: "You'll see."
(Ephram points to the backpack.)
Ephram: "You need help with that?"
Amy: "No, thanks."
_____________________
Amy and Ephram are walking up a mountain pass and Amy puts the backpack on a bench.
Ephram: "Mind me asking. What are we doing out here?"
Amy: "Trying to jog your memory."
Ephram: "Did I miss something?"
(Amy smiled.)
Amy: "You can see the whole town from here. Main Street, the grade school, and the factories."
(Ephram chuckled.)
Ephram: "Yeah and uh....Church Road."
Amy: "Great memory...um....It looks amazing up here."
Ephram: "Even more so if I weren't freezing my ass off."
(Amy laughs.)
Amy: "There's a reason why I'm wearing a ski jacket."
Ephram: "I dodn't know where we were going."
Ephram signals to Amy to sit on the bench and they do.
Ephram: "Why up here?"
Amy: "I felt something up here, call me corny but..I don't know it just-"
(Amy looks at Ephram)
Amy: "Never mind."
Ephram: "What's in the backpack?"
Amy: "Food, tent, flare gun, the essentials."
Ephram: "Are we camping out here?"
Amy: "Yeah. Hope you don't mind."
Ephram: "No, it's ok. I just didn't expect it."
Amy: "We should probably set up camp here. It's getting late."
Ephram: "I'll just call my dad."
Ephram took out his cellphone from his pocket. He looked at the screen and began pacing.
Amy: "What are you doing?"
Ephram: "Bad reception."
Ephram finally found the right spot and began to dial.
Ephram: "Dad?"
Dr. Brown: "Ephram? Something wrong?"
Ephram: "Just wanted to tell you I won't be back until tomorrow."
Dr. Brown: "Where are you?"
Ephram: "I don't exactly know. We're camping."
Dr. Brown: "Ephram-"
Ephram: "Bye."
Ephram hung up his phone and walked over to Amy, who was trying to start a fire with twigs.
Amy: "Hey."
Ephram: "The fire's kinda dying out."
Amy: "It was never alive."
Ephram: "There's an easy way for this."
(Amy stares at Ephram.)
Ephram: "Let me see the backpack."
Amy: "Why?"
Ephram: "You'll see."
Amy recluctantly gave Ephram the backpack and Ephram rummaged through the backpack and took out a flare gun.
Amy: "Oh."
Ephram pointed the gun towards the twigs.
Amy: "Be careful."
Ephram fired at the twigs and they immediately caught fire.
Amy: "Clever."
Ephram: "Well...it's an idea from my deer quest days."
Amy: "Um...oh..I remember now."
Amy pulled a thermos out of the backpack. Ham took the tent out and began pitching it.
Amy: "Want some cocoa?"
(Amy offers Ephram the thermos.)
Ephram: "Maybe later."
(cellphone rings)
Amy: "That's mine."
Amy: (on the phone) "Hello?"
Bright: "Amy."
Amy: "Bright, what is it?"
Bright: "How's camping going?"
Amy: "How did you-"
Bright: "Dad spent like 2 hours looking for the camping gear. Of course after he was exhausted, I told him you took it."
Amy: "Brutal, Bright....What did you want?"
Bright: "Put goth boy on the phone."
Amy: "Who, Ephram?"
Bright: "Yeah."
Amy looks confused. She hands her cellphone to Ephram.
Amy: "It's for you. Bright."
Ephram: (on the phone) "Bright?"
Bright: "Yeah. Listen, don't hurt her."
Ephram: "Who?"
Bright: "Amy. She's been through enough."
Ephram: "Alright."
Ephram hung up the phone and gave it back to Amy.
Amy: "I don't wanna know what that was about."
Ephram: "Yeah? Me neither."
Amy: "Cocoa?"
Ephram: "Why not?"
Ephram took the the thermos and poured a cup of cocoa. Then he sat next to Amy.
Amy: "Tent pitched?"
Ephram: "Yeah."
Amy stared off into space.
Ephram: "What are you thinking about?"
(Ephram doesn't get a response and waves his hand in front of Amy's face.)
Ephram: "Amy?"
Amy: "Oh..what did you say?"
Ephram: "What are you thinking about?"
Amy: "Colin."
Ephram: "Amy, you-"
Amy: "I know. It's not that. It's-Colin told me he loved me. He didn't say much else. He didn't tell me most of the stuff he remembered. He didn't remember Grover, you had to tell him. It-I wonder if he remembered the day near the creek. When I told him I-"
Ephram: "Loved him."
Amy: "Yeah."
Ephram: "Does it really matter now?"
Amy: "I guess not."
Ephram hugged Amy and kissed her on the forehead.
Amy: "I guess part of me won't let go. I'm sorry, Ephram."
Ephram: "I see what you're trying to do and I won't let you."
Amy stared at Ephram. They both leaned in and kissed.
Amy: "Can I be alone for awhile?"
Ephram nods and Amy goes into the tent. Ephram signed and looked up at the sky.
Ephram: (to himself) "She's clearly not over it."
Ephram thought that Amy would need time so, he pulled a blanket from the backpack and covered himself with it. Not soon after that, he fell asleep.
A/N: I know this chapter hasn't exactly been the best, but I'm running out of ideas. Maybe I shouldn't have killed Colin off. I think that the next chapters after this will get a little more interesting. PLEASE REVIEW!
